Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the much talked about economic growth of 7 percent is largely in the financial sector, whose benefits hardly go down to the ordinary person. Countries like Mauritius have the best business environment in Africa, despite the fact that it is a small country. Rwanda, which came out of war the other way, is the fastest growing economy in this region. The Ministry has not taken this matter seriously. What specific steps will the Ministry put in place to ensure that Kenya takes its rightful place in terms of DFI?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister, in part âbâ of his answer to the Question says that he is not aware that there is a bill and whether or not the employer has visited the employee in hospital. The purpose of this Question is for him to go and find out, and he dares to bring this kind of answer. Through the Chair, could we get direction on how we will proceed on this matter when the Assistant Minister has refused to give an appropriate answer?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Like hon. Mbadi has said, this Assistant Minister looks like he is not sure about any answer that he is giving this House. The whole purpose of this Ministry of Labour is to ensure that employees are protected, among other things. Since the Assistant Minister seems not to be prepared, is it in order to give him more time so that he can go and find out, including among other things, the last inspection report by his labour officers so that he can table it in this House?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, 30 per cent of the time lost has a lot of implications in terms of opportunity costs of services that have not been rendered to the community and the visitors to the national park. The Assistant Minister agrees that this contractor has not lived to the expectations. Could he tell us, for purposes of accountability, what reasons have been given by the contractor not to have utilized the period between January and May as is required?
